The Jaguars didn’t waste any time in showing off on national television.
They took the opening kickoff and moved 77 yards on seven plays, with running back Bhayshul Tuten scoring from the 1 on third down. Tuten was questionable to play with ankle/foot injuries.
It was the only third down the Jaguars faced on the drive.
Trevor Lawrence was 3-for-4 for 72 yards, including a 52-yarder to rookie tight end Nate Boerkircher. Boerkircher got lost by the defense as Lawrence rolled to his right to avoid pressure.
Lawrence also threw a 16-yard pass to Jakobi Meyers.
Tuten has two carries for 5 yards.
The Jaguars will have running back Bhayshul Tuten and defensive end Travon Walker for Thursday Night Football against the Ravens.
Both players are active after being questionable on the final injury report.
Walker has a rib injury and Tuten injured his ankle/foot last week.
Walker has played in every game, seeing action on 330 defensive snaps. He has totaled three sacks, seven quarterback hits, one pass defensed and 18 tackles.
Tuten has played 241 snaps in seven games, totaling 125 touches for 673 yards and six touchdowns.
The Jaguars’ inactives are wide receiver CJ Williams, cornerback Alijah Huzzie, safety Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig and defensive end Wesley Williams.
The Ravens’ inactives are quarterback Kedon Slovis, wide receiver Elijah Sarratt, offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr., defensive lineman Aeneas Peebles, cornerback Nate Wiggins (stinger/illness) and safety Jaylinn Hawkins (knee). Slovis is the emergency third quarterback, meaning Austin Reed, who the Ravens signed on Monday, will be the No. 2 quarterback behind Joe Fagnano.
Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley are officially on the Ravens’ injured reserve list.
It’s been known for a few days that both quarterbacks were headed to the list and the moves were announced ahead of Thursday night’s game against the Jaguars. Huntley is going to miss the rest of the season with a toe injury and Jackson may be out for the rest of the year as well. He is set for surgery on his right thumb after being injured early in last Sunday’s loss to the Bills.
Huntley was injured a short time later, which led to Joe Fagnano’s regular season debut. He’ll make his starting debut against Jacksonville and Austin Reed will be on hand to back him up. Reed signed to the practice squad this week and the team announced that he’s now been signed to the active roster. They also signed Kedon Slovis off of the Packers’ practice squad this week.
The makeup of the quarterback room is set to change again next week. The Ravens are finalizing a trade with the Cardinals that will bring Jacoby Brissett to Baltimore.
In addition to the quarterback moves, the Ravens also elevated kicker Jake Moody and linebacker Adisa Isaac from the practice squad for Thursday night.
Bill Belichick fell short of the necessary votes to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2026, but he may have another chance in 2027.
The Hall of Fame announced the five coaches who have advanced to the next round of consideration in the current selection process. One of those coaches will be selected for consideration by the full selection committee ahead of the Super Bowl.
Belichick is joined by Tom Coughlin, Mike Holmgren, Dan Reeves, and Mike Shanahan. All five coaches also advanced to this point in the selection process last year. This is the fourth time that Holmgren has advanced to this point.
Don Coryell was the last coach selected for the Hall of Fame. He was part of the Class of 2023.
The Jaguars will be making gameday calls about a pair of starters before facing the Ravens on Thursday night.
They listed running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) and defensive end Travon Walker (rib) as questionable to play in the game. Tuten was listed as a non-participant in practice all week while Walker moved up to limited participation the last two days.
If Tuten cannot play, Chris Rodriguez, Ameer Abdullah, and LeQuint Allen will be the running back options for Jacksonville. Tuten is coming off a 159-yard, two touchdown performance against the Colts in Week 8.
Walker has 18 tackles, three sacks and seven quarterback hits this season. Josh Hines-Allen, Bryan Thomas, and Danny Striggow also saw action at defensive end against Indianapolis.
